Orlando Pirates to loan midfielder: Two clubs interested

Orlando Pirates to loan midfielder, as two clubs interested already.

Pirates are preparing to loan out Thuso Moleleki in January, following his off-season transfer from Orbit College. Reports indicate that both Richards Bay and Moleleki’s former club, Orbit College, have expressed interest in securing his services for the remainder of the season.

Sources reveal that the Pirates’ technical team supports this loan move to ensure Moleleki gains valuable game time and experience. “You know he joined in the off season from Orbit College to boost the squad, and now they want him to gain experience from another team where he can play more regularly,” one source explained. The current squad’s depth in his position makes it challenging for Moleleki to see playing time, prompting the team to seek a loan arrangement.

Preparing for a strong return

By loaning Moleleki, the Pirates intend to prepare him for a stronger return to the squad. “But with a loan move next season. He can come back more experienced and fight for a place in the starting team at Pirates. That’s why his loan move is set for January if all goes well,” the source added.

Another source confirmed that two clubs have already shown serious interest in a loan deal for the talented midfielder. “For now, it’s Richards Bay United and his former club Orbit College. Who have shown interest in him already,” the source stated. While nothing is finalised yet, discussions are ongoing, and the outcome will depend on the conditions of the loan deal.

Promising Pirates future ahead

Thuso Moleleki, who joined Orlando Pirates in July on a three-year contract, has yet to make his debut in an official match for the club. This absence of playing time increases the likelihood of a loan move in January. As the Bucs seek to enhance his development by providing him with essential on-field experience.

The January transfer window draws near, fans and analysts are eager to hear updates about Moleleki’s potential loan destination. They will closely monitor discussions regarding his future and the opportunities that await this promising young midfielder. This loan could prove crucial for Moleleki, allowing him to gain valuable experience. That will prepare him for a successful return to Pirates and help him compete for a spot in the starting lineup.
